# Lilypad Builder-verse! At the Lilypad Network, our mission is to democratize access to compute resources with tooling to deploy powerful Agents and open source LLM workflows. To achieve our mission of accelerating open source AI, we’re enlisting the help of the Lilypad community to **build systems that solve real-world problems**! # Introducing the Lilypad Builder-verse **Today, we’re launching the Lilypad Builder-verse,** a hub for developers, labs, and businesses to access with guides, workshops, and live streams centered around deploying LLM workflows! This includes creating containerized LLM programs as **Lilypad (Modules)** and using [Lilypad Modules](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/lilypad-modules/modules-intro) within LLM workflows like Agent pipelines! Community members can [earn rewards](https://blog.lilypadnetwork.org/lilypad-module-creator-rewards-beta) for building on the network and growing the popularity of their projects. Learn more in the [docs](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad) about Lilypad Modules and MLops tooling provided to run inference on the network! # The Builder-verse & IncentiveNet Stage 2 ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1738088484136/b72b7669-c95d-4b02-98c7-6862a05853a9.png align="center") As the second stage of [IncentiveNet](https://blog.lilypadnetwork.org/update-to-the-lilybit-rewards-calculation#heading-incentivenet-timeline), the Builder-verse provides an opportunity to [earn Lilybit rewards](https://blog.lilypadnetwork.org/lilypad-module-creator-rewards-beta) just by building on the network! * [Build](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/developer-resources/lilypad-modules/build-a-job-module) and submit a Module to the Lilypad [Module Marketplace](https://github.com/Lilypad-Tech/awesome-Lilypad/blob/main/README.md#modules). * Build Agents and applications that use Lilypad Modules to scale parallel inference. * Promote your work to the community! The more usage your module or Agent gets from the ecosystem, the more rewards you earned! Check out the [leaderboard](https://oss.lilypad.tech/) to see the rewards community in action! [Join us](https://lu.ma/lilypadnetwork) each week for Builders Live, where we’ll host: * Community demos of Lilypad Modules and LLM workflows (come demo your project!) * Workshops on “How to Run LLMs on Lilypad with a Module,” “How to Build an Agent Workflow on Lilypad,” and more Looking for inspiration? Our team put together a [Request for Modules](https://blog.lilypadnetwork.org/fuel-the-future-by-building-on-lilypad-and-accelerate-open-source-ai) based on community input, plus a guide for [Building a Front End on Lilypad](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/developer-resources/running-lilypad-in-a-front-end)! Stay tuned for a full [Module creation guide](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/developer-resources/lilypad-modules/build-a-job-module) and an **Agent cookbook** with templates and best practices for deploying Agent workflows on Lilypad. For inspiration, check out the Agent projects we are working on with partners and will be deploying to Lilypad in production soon! * [Lilypad Support Agent](https://github.com/noryev/local-rag) * [AI Oncologist Research Agent](https://github.com/mavericb/ai-oncologist) # Build and Earn! Our [Module Creator Leaderboard](https://oss.lilypad.tech/) launched recently, and we’re eager to see new submissions! Anyone who **creates a working Module, Agent workflow, or Integration** will be rewarded in **Lilybits**. Generate a lot of usage? Earn **bonus Lilybits** based on the demand your work creates! To submit a Module or Agent workflow for rewards, follow the directions in this [guide](https://blog.lilypadnetwork.org/lilypad-module-creator-rewards-beta)! # What’s a Lilypad Module? A **Lilypad** **Module** is a Git repository that uses predefined templates and inputs to perform various tasks on the Lilypad Network. Once created, a Module can be called by any builder simply by using the **Lilypad** [**Inference API**](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/developer-resources/inference-api)**,** [**CLI**](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/lilypad-testnet/install-run-requirements) or other [MLops tooling](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/developer-resources/js-cli-wrapper-local) (hosted API endpoint coming soon!). * **Accelerate Open Source AI**: Once a Module is built, anyone can build an Agent or application running that Module on Lilypad with instant load balancing and blockchain-verified compute jobs. * **Instant Deployment**: Containerize your LLM in a Docker-based Lilypad module, and anyone on the network can call it in an Agent workflow or an application. * **Scalable Infrastructure**: Tap into Lilypad’s inference network, where workloads are balanced automatically. * **Accessible Tooling**: Use [the **Lilypad CLI**](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/lilypad-testnet/install-run-requirements) and other [developer resources](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/developer-resources/js-cli-wrapper-local) (hosted API coming soon!) to streamline your AI deployments. # What can I build on Lilypad? Once a Module is live on Lilypad, developers can build and deploy Agent workflows and LLM based applications easily! This unique offering allows developers to skip the tedious and costly process of deploying LLMs to infrastructure and load balancing the processes. Just choose a Lilypad module to run, then use our MLops tooling your apps backend. Lilypad specializes at supporting large scale parallel processing for LLM workflows within a serverless-style environment. Lilypad is currently in Testnet and in order to support parallel processing at scale, our team is carefully scaling up the GPU supply on the network. Check out the [awesome-Lilypad](https://github.com/Lilypad-Tech/awesome-Lilypad?tab=readme-ov-file#use-cases) repo for examples like the [ML workbench](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/use-cases/lilypad-ml-workbench), [WaterLily.AI](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/use-cases/waterlily.ai), and more! We’re also collaborating with amazing partners on Agent workflows for market research, protein folding, and more **stay tuned**! # What about rewards for Resource Providers? The [Lilypad IncentiveNet](https://blog.lilypadnetwork.org/update-to-the-lilybit-rewards-calculation#heading-incentivenet-timeline) (Testnet) continues with Rewards opportunities for both Builders and Resource Providers (GPUs)! For the RP community, our team has been hard at work re-architecting the IncentiveNet rewards system to align with Mainnet and will launch a RP beta program as soon as possible. The RP Beta program will employ a verification system with our team vetting nodes that would like to join the network to ensure they can reliably run jobs when online. This involves many factors including meeting the hardware + internet speed requirements, keeping the node up to date, ensuring the full resources of the node are available to run jobs, etc. The proces will ensure high service quality for end users of the network! Sign up for the RP Beta program [here](https://forms.gle/qrreXoDNtxDppPik9) and stay tuned in the [updates-RP](https://discord.com/channels/1212897693450641498/1256179769356189707) discord channel for announcements on the next steps. # Stay Connected 🌐 **We can’t wait to see what you build in the Lilypad Builder-verse!** For more more details, check out our high level roadmap can be found [on the Lilypa](https://lilypad.tech/#roadmap)[d website.](https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/lilypad-testnet/install-run-requirements) Join the Lilypad Discord and follow us on socials to stay up to date with the action! * [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/WtHbjMP5UB) * [Twitter/X](https://twitter.com/lilypad_tech) * [GitHub](https://github.com/Lilypad-Tech/)
